Summary:This paper deals with reliability assessment issues for a DC Offshore Power System. In the first step a methodology for reliability evaluation of an offshore power system is characterized. For this purpose new reliability indices are introduced in order to take the specific character of the offshore grid into account. Then, using a Monte Carlo simulation approach, exemplary simulations are carried out for a selected test system. The performed simulations show a strong influence of redundancy level on the reliability indices.
